How long did your postpartum bleeding last?

[Yankees21]

Twelve weeks, unfortunately.

[vmars]

I think 6 weeks but I had a csection (dunno if that makes a difference).

[cobber06]

Around 8 weeks.

I think I was on week 12 with DD.
With DS it was fast...like less than 2 but then I had weird period/hormone issues that are just sorting themselves out 6.5 months later.

I didn't win either way.

[DarcyLongfellow]

With DD1 I still had it at 7 weeks PP, and my doctor chastised me for not coming in and seeing her earlier because the reason I was still bleeding was because I had an infection.

With DD2 I bled for 5 or 6 weeks.

[hski2349]

I was around 6 or 7 weeks. But I then got my period a couple weeks later.

[statlerwaldorf]

I'm 7 weeks pp and still spotting. I had a c-section and my ob didn't seem concerned at my check up last week.

[jenn248]

It initially lasted until about 8 weeks, then I had a two-week break, then more bleeding at 10 weeks for another week or so.

[SJ]

Either 3 weeks or 5 weeks, I can't remember.

[gibbinator]

5 or 6 weeks

[turtlegirl]

Close to 6 weeks with DS1.

Only a week or two with DS2 unless I was on my feet a lot, then it would come back for a day or so.

6w with my first. Not as long with the 2nd and 3rd, but still a few weeks.

[lauren170]

7 weeks.

[Birdie]

Two weeks

I was a c/s mom though so they cleaned me out pretty good. And even with that, I don't think my results are typical of c/s moms. Most I've heard have gone longer.

ETA: I've had PP periods that were worse than my postpartum bleeding. Helllooooo Mirena. Ain't nobody got time for that.

[calico]

Surprisingly about 4-5 weeks, stopping a little over a week ago. But I'll probably get my pp period soon since I'm not able to ebf.

[turtletop90]

Around 6 wks. I hope yours stops soon!

[kategm]

Between 7 and 8 weeks

[starlily]

5 weeks

Did you have any reason to think it was an infection?  I told my doctor at my checkup last week that I was still bleeding and that it was still red sometimes but she didn't seem concerned. 

No, I didn't. I think bleeding that long can be totally normal. My doctor (who I left after that pregnancy) was kind of a jerk, and she made me feel dumb for not knowing that I had an infection when there was nothing really to indicate that fact!

Vag birth - 3 weeks super heavy, 6 more weeks period like, 2 more weeks of spotting here and there. So, forever.

C-section - 2 weeks of spotting. lol. My one and only check mark in the "pro" column for my c-section birth.

[narockshard]

I think 6 weeks because it stopped, but then a week later I might have gotten my period. Then a couple of weeks after that I started bleeding period like again, so I have no idea what the deal is.

[Alyssa]

About 5.5 weeks, it stopped right before my 6 week pp check-up.

[pinotgrig]

5 weeks with a CS

I got Mirena inserted a few weeks ago (3-4-ish?) and have been bleeding and spotting off and on since then. So over it.

[smm5623]

just over 8 weeks.

[greencrayon]

8 weeks, but then I got my mirena inserted, so another few weeks because of that.

[water*drop]

Twelve weeks. At my 6-week appointment, the doctor said to call if it was still happening at 10 weeks, and 10 weeks, she said that since it was more like heavy spotting than consistent bleeding to give it a few more weeks. It sucked.
